Smiles all over

I went back to camp last sunday thinking, for the third time in army: What comes out of NS? Whats the point of trying to be a good leader, trying to be proficient in military skills and being all enthusiastic. Honestly, I see it as a duty to serve the country. Singapore will not being enjoying the present peace if not for the effort of every young singaporean serving their "term". Still, the question remains unchanged: What comes out of it?
Since last month, I have adopted the mentality of doing things in passing. Do my job, fulfil my tasks and call it a day. Such an attitude does not make a commander but, so? Bearing in mind once again my objectives and focus in life, I emphasize more on personal development these days. With great military discipline, I spend time reading the newspaper everyday, practising my speech techniques, improving my language proficiency, working out and studying. At the end of the day, all these will pay off. I will be of help to my future as I step into the corporate world. On the contrary, what value will AI Section Crew Drills have a year or two later.

~I have a vision of what a successful man is like, and I will work towards this vision. Nothing comes with effort.~

Much to my great surprise, someone asked me out this Monday. I was overjoyed and started acting like a kid till the moment I step out of camp. The night spent was meaningful and fantastic. How I wish such luck will dawn upon me again. Got to book in soon...Bye
